Scope of Work
The app started with the desire to participate in the Google Gemini API competition, which challenged participants to craft projects using Google's AI model, Gemini. We brainstormed imaginative and innovative concepts that could harness Gemini's capabilities. Ultimately, we settled on an app that empowers parents to create safe, personalized stories for their children.
Forming the idea
Through our research into the storytelling industry and its impact on children, we identified a market gap for a safe and engaging app. The goal was to develop an app that helps parents create personalized stories for their children, supporting their creativity with AI.
Cross-Platform App Development
We wanted to craft an app that would be universally accessible, reaching as vast an audience as conceivable. We decided to use Flutter because it let us easily create a high-quality app for iOS and Android platforms and also for the web.
AI Integration
The main feature of the app is the integration of Google's new AI model, Gemini. AI was used to generate tales and validate the user inputs to make sure that the content is safe for children.
Accessibility
Our priority was to ensure the app's accessibility to the widest possible audience. To achieve this, we rigorously tested it in accessibility mode, confirming ease of use for individuals with visual impairments.
Solution
Before starting the development, we analyzed the storytelling industry, examining its profound influence on children's growth and development. Our research revealed that storytelling is indispensable in nurturing a child's creativity, imagination, and emotional intelligence. This realization solidified our vision: to create an app that enables parents to weave personalized narratives for their children, seamlessly merging their creative instincts with the power of AI. By using AI to generate captivating tales, we envisioned an environment where parents could create imaginative and secure stories tailored to their children's unique needs.
Building a Cross-Platform App
We opted to utilize Flutter for the app's development, as it let us build a high-quality app for a range of platforms: iOS, Android, and web. Despite having only two developers and limited time at our disposal, we successfully brought to life a fully functional app that met all our specifications.
AI Integration in the Cloud
A significant aspect of the project was the integration of Google’s latest AI model, Gemini. We leveraged Firebase tools, including Firestore and Cloud Functions, to manage and process our data efficiently. This tech stack helped us scale effortlessly and maintain the app’s reliability without concern.
Accessibility and Safety
We wanted the app to be accessible to the widest possible audience. To make this happen, we rigorously tested and adapted it for use by individuals with visual impairments. We also implemented prompts that validated user inputs, providing a secure storytelling environment.
Since it's not advisable for children to spend too much time looking at screens, we added a feature that converts tales into PDFs, allowing for a more traditional storytelling experience.
